Muskoka Paintball

Starting at the very basics; Paintball is a game where two teams or individuals compete for an objective while avoiding being hit 

or “marked” by paint shot from an air powered paintball gun or “paintball marker”. Paintballs are actually a mix of gelatine and 

food colouring, non-toxic and biodegradable. Paintball is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and is played 

everywhere from backyards to professional international leagues. 

“Woodsball” goes back to the roots of paintball with participants playing recreationally in wooded fields in a variety of games 

like capture the flag or attack and defend. Muskoka with its varied terrain is one of teh best places in the world to play 

paintball.

Players are divided evenly into two teams a mix of young and old and a various skill levels and identified with armbands. A 

safety and rules briefing precedes the game and explains game details like special units (medics, rocketeers, spys, etc.). 

Each team also has a General and several Sargeants who will receive missions and intel from the Game Director  to lead 

players into battle. Players that do get hit return to their base and check in with the ref there to be re-inserted into the game.

Game play begins at 10am sharp. The horn blows and two armies race towards each other. Both teams will battle until 3pm to 

control vital positions on the field and to complete missions from their General which are worth points for their team. Sabotage 

attacks, and hidden secrets weapons are all part of the game. At the end of the day, victory goes to the team that works 

together and emerges with the most overall points.
